<p>Responsibilities are a good question )</p>
<p>So far, as I was a de-facto lead, we weren't super strict about what it actually means to be the lead. I actually do think this is the right approach: if you have a closed set of responsibilites, you have a tendency to grind those responsibilities, instead of fixing  everything that is  broken.</p>
<p>So,  yeah, I think wg-rls2.0-lead means the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>dedicating significant amount of head space to thinking and caring about "creating the uncompromisingly perfect dev experience for Rust"</li>
<li>"transferring"  the resulting system of values to the wider community of folks working on the project</li>
<li>having the "big picture" in mind</li>
<li>picking the "leftover" work and otherwise, fixing anything that's broken and isn't being fixed by somebody else.</li>
<li>and important bit of "leftover" work is coordination: changelogs, wg check-ins, etc</li>
</ul>
<p>Notably, "understanding how every bit of code works" isn't on the list: I've never understood our type inference or proc macro expansion code, for example.</p>

<p>I'm certainly interested, but I'm not too sure I'm cut out for all of that I think <span aria-label="big smile" class="emoji emoji-1f604" role="img" title="big smile">:big_smile:</span></p>
